10 lb just don t take it from us here s what they say about our solid state base station amplifier the ampifier faulted only when it was supposed to it protected itself from our boneheaded sleep-deprived band changing manuevers i found myself not worrying about damaging this amplifier it seems quite capable of looking out for itself kudos to ameritron i couldn t hear any noise at all from the sps switching power supply on the vertical or quad i came to greatly appreciate the size weight reliability and simplicity of this amplifier the als-600s makes it possible to pack a transceiver and a 600 watt amplifier that together weigh less than 30 pounds from qst magazine march 2005 ameritron inrush current protector stops damaging inrush current protects your amplifier tubes and power supply components eventually this massive inrush current will damage your amplifier ameritron s step-start inrush current protectortm stops damaging inrush current momentary high-voltage spikes in the ac line can also cause damage to your amp the icp-120/240 has built-in varistors to absorb these spikes before they can cause damage works with nearly all linear amplifiers by starting your linear amplifier through a high power current limiting resistor and then when you first turn on your amplifier a massive inrush current suggested gushes in house retail lights flicker as you hear a loud thump from your amp this terrible inrush current stresses all your power supply components to their limits your cold tube filament suffers abusive thermal shock 7995 use with rigs or amps that are producing unwanted harmonics frequency select switches to one of $arf-1000 95 six different ranges from 1.5 to 30 mhz handles 1000 w ssb input suggested power 600 w cw or 400 w rtty retail swr is
